I hope the day comes soon that the x86 goes the way of the dinosaur and gets displayed in the Smithsonian where it belongs. ARM has the chance to supplant and hopefully replace the aged x86 and user in a new era of computing. Hopefully more of the computing industry gets behind ARM and it flourishes and doesn’t let it down like they have other excellent architectures like PPC, Alpha and MIPS.

ARM Ltd is 20 years old. The ARM 1 CPU is 25 years now. The instruction set as designed by Sophie Wilson is 27 years old. Pity that there is no reference in the article, in the links to that wonderful brain.

ARM is excellent processor. many handheld devices,supercomputers uses this RISC architecture.
thank u for providing the image of 12 ARM founders.

Recently, I have counted near 20 ARM processor in my home, from the Acorn Archimedes (a loved “collector”!), 2 Acorn A5000, 3 RiscPC, 1 Yonix, 2 PSION S5, GSM Phones, GPS, Internet Boxes, games and other devices ARM powered. I “love” the ARM RISC concept for it extrem low electrical power consumption, and great ratio of performance per Watt.
One of my dream is to see in the next future newer machines to run with the superb RiscOS…

@Phlegon, you have the Toshiba AC100 (with Nvidia Tegra2 Dual-Core ARM Cortex-A9 1GHz).

It’s not very simple, but you can run Ubuntu 10.10 on this.

ARM FTW! I have an Acorn A7000+ with a 40MHz ARM 7500FE processor.

Yup, it’s “just” a matter of timing at this point, when the mass manufacturing of the right components can be put into place and when Google’s web browser OS is optimized enough so that the latest Dual-Core ARM Cortex-A9 designs with right combination of fast memory and I/O in the SoC, can run this web browser at full speed.

This might happen as soon as December? Or early next year? It’s going to be super fun to video-blog and follow this here.

Great company. I’m really looking forward to fast ARM netbooks – not the ARM 920 ones with 128mb ram and 2gb flash floating around with WinCE! I look forward to something I can run linux/android on, with an e-ink/pixel qi screen, and that will last for days like a kindle!! Yes, I know that’s a tall order but it’s doable given todays technology.
